Autoimmune diseases more common in women who stop ovulating before 40

The study finds a significant correlation between premature ovarian insufficiency and autoimmune diseases, urging further investigation into prevention methods.

How viral persistence and immune dysfunction drive long COVID

Study explores the biological drivers and mechanisms of long COVID, shedding light on its epidemiology and potential therapeutic interventions. It emphasizes the role of viral persistence, immune dysfunction, and coagulation in the development of this condition.

Cleveland Clinic identifies bacterium that weakens gut immune defense

Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered a new bacterium that weakens the immune system in the gut, potentially contributing to certain inflammatory and infectious gut diseases.

Patient-derived gut organoids reveal new insights into Crohn's disease subtypes

Crohn's disease - an autoimmune disorder - is characterized by chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, resulting in a slew of debilitating gastrointestinal symptoms that vary from patient to patient.

26 Sep 2024

Targeted drug therapy shows promise for ulcerative colitis remission

An international placebo-controlled study led by Cedars-Sinai suggests that a targeted drug therapy that was developed by researchers at Cedars-Sinai is safe and effective at helping people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis reach clinical remission.

Premature ovarian insufficiency in women linked to greater risk of severe autoimmune conditions

Severe autoimmune conditions such Type I diabetes, Addison's disease, lupus and inflammatory bowel disease, are between two to three times more common in women who have been diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) compared to the general population.

25 Sep 2024

Researchers gain new understanding of how immune cells respond to heat during fever

The study reveals that moderate fever enhances CD4 T cell activity while reducing regulatory T cell suppression, highlighting temperature's immune effects.

25 Sep 2024

Microbial biomarkers identified in lupus and IBD offer pathways for targeted therapies

Research connects gut microbiota to lupus and IBD, uncovering microbial markers and pathways that could inform targeted therapies for autoimmune disorders.

24 Sep 2024

Study reveals anti-tumor properties of food antigens

Researchers led by Hiroshi Ohno at the RIKEN Center for Integrative medical sciences (IMS) in Japan have discovered that food antigens like milk proteins help keep tumors from growing in our guts, specifically the small intestines.

23 Sep 2024

Dietary antigens reduce small intestine cancer by boosting immune T-cells

Study shows that dietary antigens can suppress small intestine carcinogenesis by activating T-cells through Peyer's patches. Adding bovine serum albumin (BSA) or ovalbumin (OVA) to antigen-free diets restored immune function and reduced tumor growth in mice.
